What changes a song from being one time signature to another? If a rests count as beats, and beats can be divided into any fraction of time, then why couldn't a 4/4 signature be written as 7/5?
I mean, it just seems like a ten second tone could be called a quarter note if given the right tempo, but so could a seven second tone.

This is FANTASTIC. You helped me a lot, thanks.

THANK YOU! This helped so much. I kept getting confused with all of the other explanations. The extraordinarily simple way you explained it was so handy.

@jordanrichards320, You're exactly right, a given note can be any lenghth. It is determined by the performer. But the time signature influences the "feel" of the piece. 3/4 is waltz time. There is a feeling of accent on the first beat. 2/4 is march time, again with an accented feel on the first beat.

Thank you for the info, on a different note - did you narrate the introduction for Earl Nightengale's success tape series? You sound just like her!

@xxfarts08xx A quarter note equals two eighth notes, equals 4 sixteenth notes, equals eight 32nd notes. These are all equivalents. They equal each other.
